They surround him on the bed for the climax. (note: no Giorgio Canali &#8211; I read in an unpublished interview with De Simone that he was unhappy with Canali&#8217;s performance, or rather, lack of it as he had sex off camera with Beau before their filming, and wasn&#8217;t turned on after that first, off-camera attempt!)<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/files.bjland.ws\/blog\/Skin_Deep_finale_01.jpg\" title=\"\" vspace=\"\" hspace=\"\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/files.bjland.ws\/blog\/Skin_Deep_finale_02.jpg\" title=\"\" vspace=\"\" hspace=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gayeroticvideoindex.com\/video\/1763\" target=\"_window\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><I><\/i><\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;theme&#8221; music &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Stuff-jazz-funk-band-need-somebody-lyrics\" target=\"_window\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <I>Need Somebody<\/i><\/a>  by STUFF  (at least one other STUFF tune appears, <I>This One&#8217;s For You<\/i>) plus Jerry Goldsmith&#8217;s &#8211; <I>The Wrong Clue<\/i>, and <I>The Last of Ida<\/i>; plus <I>Serenade In The Night<\/i> from Primo Scala &#038; His Accordion Band, Herb Alpert&#8217;s <I>The Factory<\/i> (during the Beau\/Giorgio scene) and <I>Beyond<\/i> in the subsequent scene between Johnny &#038; Michael; and of course, PINK FLOYD&#8217;s <I>On The Run.<\/i>  I love that the director&#8217;s original choices for music withstood the transfer to VHS, etc (unlike the case in <I>The Idol<\/i>).
